Breeding for Health, Temperament, Rare Colors & Beauty.

From Germany to the USA

Raised in my home with lots and lots of TLC

I was born and raised in Germany and Miniature Schnauzers were always a part of my life. After moving to the United States, I studied nursing and worked for over two decades in the medical profession. For many years, I bred and showed Collies because I had a childhood love for Lassie.

After only 15 month of being married, my new husband Maximilian (MAX) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. I had to give up all but two of my Collies because we were traveling throughout the country trying to find cancer treatments that would buy us more precious time together. After Maximilian's death January of 2009, my life was shattered and empty with the collies being gone as well. I bought 3 miniature Schnauzers to fill the void and bring comfort to my grief.

I had chosen Schnauzers because they do not shed, are very smart, and are easy to train. One year later, I found myself sharing a bed with twelve Schnauzers. There is a Schnauzer welcome party just for me each time I return home from running errands, sometimes three to four times a day. My Schnauzers have been such an uplift to my soul and have filled my emptiness due to my loss. Now they are more than just my Schnauzers - they are my family, my best friends and my therapy.

No one is kenneled; they have two acres to roam around. Everyone has fun chasing rabbits, squirrels, lizards, and the neighbor's dog. All of them are very obedient and respond well to the clicker training since they always want to please. My babies are only sold to approved homes and never to pet stores or brokers. My dogs are pampered with lots of love and affection, and are ready to be spoiled in your home.

In loving memory of my husband MaximilianA portion of all puppy adoption fees are donated to the Johns Hopkins Cancer Research Department in the hopes of finding a cure for PANCREATIC CANCER.

Maximilian Schnauzer is the Place where the History of the almost extinct Parti-colored Schnauzers is being resurrected.

Parti Schnauzers are NOT DESIGNER DOGS. They are true Schnauzers and registrable with AKC!!!

The original parti-colored Miniature Schnauzers were found in Germany 1929. Unfortunately, lots of the Parti Schnauzer's breed history was destroyed during World War II in Germany.

I am German. Therefore, it has become my mission to help resurrect all those lost Schnauzer colors and educate people who believe that there is no such thing as a Parti Schnauzer. YES, THERE IS!

In the beginning of the Miniature Schnauzer history many breeds were used to down-size the Standard Schnauzer to produce the first Miniatures and “non-official” colors have appeared in the breed.

The Breed Standards were set early on by a group of enthusiasts who simply decided they liked this or that and thus "outlawed" any "off" colors. Sadly, Colored Miniature Schnauzer were not desired and many litters were destroyed. This led to the near extinction of the partis and all those other colors.

Even today, Breeders who are breeding for the show ring still do all they can to eradicate the non-official colors from their lines. This has led to an unfortunate attitude of “color-prejudice” against colored Miniature Schnauzers within such circles. While they are disqualified from the show ring, such dogs are recognized as purebreds by the AKC (American Kennel Association).

So, while Parti Schnauzers can’t compete in the Show Ring, there is nothing wrong with the colors as many like to argue. They are 100% purebred Schnauzer!!!

Maximilian Schnauzers will not let the History of the Parti Schnauzers be forgotten. I hope that someday in the near future, the Parti Schnauzers will win their rights to be in the confirmation show rings because they contributed and are a part of the "Miniature Schnauzer History"

ATTENTION! First black and white Parti litter was born in Germany 80 years ago!

Maximilian Schnauzers is committed to breeding only the healthiest and highest quality of AKC registered Teacups, Toys and Miniature Schnauzers of rare colors that you can't find anywhere. Each puppy enters this world with my care and love.I Produce Unconditional Love, Joy And Happiness

My dogs and puppies are well socialized, raised in my home and never kenneled. All puppies are handled and loved everyday from the minute they are born. Puppies will come pre-spoiled, pre-housebroken and ready for you to love.

Schnauzers are amazing and are non-shedding and hypoallergenic! They are wonderful family pets, very intelligent and loyal with lots of love to give to you. Schnauzers love kids and are very gentle with them. They are healthy and hardy and make a great watch dog.

All my parti Schnauzers are eligible for registration with the AKC but are not allowed to be shown in conformation.

I Am Not Your Average Breeder!

I raise each puppy and litter with daily care and attention, and spend the needed amount of time finding
loving committed forever homes to entrust them to. I am committed to my extended puppy families
giving them a lifetime of support, assistance and advice when needed and valuing these friendships
that I have made along the way as we share in common the love and passion for the Schnauzer breed.

I fully stand behind each and every one of my pups with a complete guarantee covering both health and
temperament. I support my breed in rescue and education. I spend hours educating owners dealing with
issues in their pup even when it was not purchased from me. In addition to taking responsibility to
guarantee a 'Home For Life' for every puppy I produce, I rescue and place other dogs of my chosen
breed that are in need of a good home.

A Home for Life. Every Schnauzer that I breed is guaranteed a home for life with me if needed. I believe
that if we bring a dog into this world, I have the responsibility to make sure that dog always has a loving
home and does not end up unwanted, abandoned, and spending its last days alone in a shelter run.
The biggest and most important commitment a breeder can make is to take responsibility for the lives they
produce. I Do ! ! !

I am there for the life of every one of my pups if they need a home to come back to for any reason at any time,
and I will aggressively pursue the return of one of my dogs if it is in the wrong place. I have never allowed
a puppy I produced to end up unwanted, homeless, dumped in a shelter or pound, or burdening a rescue.
I hold and treasure each one of my puppies when they are born, and a piece of my heart breaks when each
one of my dogs leave this world. I share my knowledge and socialize my dogs so that they will be an outstanding
example of my breed and proof of my dedication. I don't let politics compromise my decisions and actions
when it comes to what is best for my dogs and my breed. I don't keep track of the money and time I dedicate
to my love of my dogs, it would not come close to being a true measure of the dedication and commitment
I have to my Schnauzers.

I have spent many joyful years learning and dedicating my life to the Schnauzers. I am a breeder who takes
great pride and seriousness in my quest to always do what is right in the eyes of my always loyal and always true companion...the Miniature Schnauzer.

I am not ashamed of who I am. I work hard at being a good dog breeder, producing outstanding dogs,
establishing a great reputation, and encouraging others.

My Heart is full of Memories,
with pride I speak Your name,
Though life goes on without you, it will never be the same.

IT'S JUST A DOG

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or "that's a lot of money for just a dog."

They don't understand the distance travelled, the time spent,
or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by
"just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience
that make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog"
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts
away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that its' not "just a dog"
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
"just a man" or "just a woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog,"
just smile,
because they "just don't understand."
